Bye Bye season passes

We are deep enough into the new season now that I'm starting to make some crucial decisions. It's slash and burn time for the season pass list. Get rid of the old stuff and the new stuff that didn't pan out and make room for the worthy new shows.

As I've posted before, there is just too much on Mondays. Even with three Tivos and five tuners, I just can't fit it all in. Prison Break gets the axe. Honestly, it probably jumped the shark the second the guys escaped, but I kept watching anyway. This season has just been laughably bad, so it was an easy decision. I'm really enjoying Chuck in its place.

Second to go is Back to You, the Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton tv news comedy is so cookie cutter you can taste the sugar sprinkles. I kept hoping it would get better, but I think it's actually getting worse. I actually kept track this week and I only laughed twice in the entire half hour. Obviously these two veterans have some bills to pay and really needed that juicy paycheck. Bye bye.

Finally, I'm bailing on Survivor. Again. It's just the same over and over and over again. Every season the casting gets worse and the challenges and "twists" get more gimmicky. No thanks, I'll wait for the Amazing Race.

On a brighter note, I've added Carpoolers and Big Bang Theory to my season pass list. Carpoolers is the best sitcom to debut this season by far. Great characters, terrific casting, hilarious writing... check it out if you haven't. Big Bang Theory is a bit more standard, but I love the Sheldon character and, so far, it makes me laugh.
